Episode 19 ~ Brewster's Millions [1985]

Walter Hill does comedy?!

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! JD and Randy here. This week, we're cruising through the 1985 comedy classic Brewster's Millions.

Directed by Walter Hill and starring the iconic Richard Pryor and John Candy, this film follows minor league baseball player Montgomery Brewster, who inherits $30 million with a catch: he must spend it all in 30 days to receive a $300 million inheritance. But spending that kind of money isn't as easy as it sounds, thanks to a series of complicated stipulations.

Join us as we break down the film's unique premise, its baseball connections, and the hilarious antics that ensue as Brewster tries to blow through his fortune. We'll also discuss the film's place in Walter Hill's career.
